[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Hawks05</i> <br /><br />well now i just have to get more gas and fix my right front tire. it keeps making a rattling noise that is driving me and my dad nuts, we can't figure out what it is. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Check the ball joints, steering linkage (particularly if FrontWD), and wheel bearings (if not FWD), and sway links. Sway links are easily replaced (a glorified nut-and-bolt with rubber cushions). Jack up the front end and grab the tire. Push and pull on it. If you feel movement, this is a BAD THING. Losing steering linkage or ball joints can cause an accident or damage to your car. If you're really lucky, nothing terrible happens except a hook truck and a repair bill.
